THE FOURTH OF JULY
It Will Live Forover as the Liberty Day
HE people ‘of a great republic, liv
ing as they do in the present, look
backward that they may see in the
past the promise of the future. The birth
of a child is the guaranty of the man, and
the beginning of a nation is the assurance
of its development. Standing to-day upen
the threshold of the temple of the twenti-
eth century, the hope of whose building is
the assurance of a structure whose glory

conventions of time, the precious associa-
tions of kinship and blood, because the
doers held liberty to be the greatest bless-
ing of humanity. They believed that peace
was not possible, and that happiness was
unattainable except through her benign aid.
Better the loss of England’s protection, bet-
ter the sundering of lifelong ties, better the
dividing of father against son and of son
against brother, than that men with long-
ings for greatest liberty should be crushed
under the iron heels of a rank oppression.
The declaration was read to the army a
few days later. Everywhere it was re-
ceived by the people with loud acclaims of
joy. They stood ready to confirm its words
with their property and their lives, and
to seal it with the kiss of their most sacred
honor. The number of patriots was small in
thosedays. There werescarcely three millions
But they were as one people
Their watchword
was liberty, with otection for all, the
humblest as well as the most exalted. They
staked their all upon the and con-
quered because of the oneness of their
purpose and the holiness of their resolve.
For them to will was to do, for the re:
they had compelled their masters in
past to be content with the name of
without any of its privileges.
But the Fourth of July does not stop
in its teaching with the lesson of the Dec-
laration of Independence. Every result of
lesson is but another lesson to be
learned of the beauty and comeliness of the
child of promise.
In the struggle for independence, in the
building of a constitution, in the seco
war with Great Britain, in the wars with
Indians and Mexico, and in the mighty
struggle between the states—in all of these
the glory of the Fourth of July is manifest,
typifying the beauty and strength of a na-
tion, which, though born in weakness, pos-
sessed the elements of endurance and match-
Jess development.
Ave, and the Fourth recalls the ability
of the people and the lawmakers and rulers
of the republic to meet the requirements of
a rapidly-developing nation. Whatever the
emergency, and the perils have been many
and great, they are found equal to the du-
ties imposed upon them.
The day is of no value, except it be a great
teacher of patriotism. It is well to hail and
acclaim it for its memories, so pure and pre
cious. But these memories should impress
the lessons, not only of joy and gladness,
because of the heritage that is all the peo-
ple’s, but also it should teach that what
is as the cumulative effects of loyalty and
zeal must be used to the greatest good of the
living, and the supremest benefit of
those who are yet unborn.
As the fathers builded
this ratien look-ahead and
t is good for those who are to
be. The lamp of the past should flash into
the future. The nation has grown from
3,000,000 to 80,000,060. The close of an-

tion and laws with such changes as are
made necessary by existent conditions; in
this way the safety of the republic is as-
sured and its future greatness becomes con-
firmed.
It is an earnest of the patriotism of the
people that the Fourth of July is com-
memorated. It is the liberty day of the na-
tion, and so long as it is honored, so long
the people honor themselves, and no fear
need be had as to theviolation of the people’s
rights. The fathers saw in this day the
harbinger of future safety. They predicted
its celebration and realized its sanctity. It
is a distinctive holiday, for all of the people,
and is celebrated in honor of the whele
nation. The duty of patriotism cannot bg
too emphatically taught a people which has
assumed the onerous task of amalgamating
into their life the ignorant and oppressed of
other nations.

Mrs. White, who had run in to

wagon loaded down with lunch baskets,

“Good gracious, you don’t mean to say
that the horses ran away, or—"’
“Those horses haven’t run anywhere for
a good 20 years, my dear. Mr. Smithers es-
pecially arranged “for a pair. We
reached our destination two hours late, and
then Mr. Smithers would send the team
back so that the horses might rest. The
driver was to come back for us at seven
o'clock. He did not seem to appreciate
the thoughtfulness of Mr. Smithers.”
“Oh, well, those people never do appre-
ciate—"
“No, as Mr. Smithers says, you must do
right, and not expect to be appreciated.
Well, the boys were wild with delight
when we arrived, and Mr. Smithers started
at once to put up the flagpole. It took two
hours, and not one of us was allowed to
speak or move, because it made him nerv-
ous, so the time passed rather slowly. Then
Mr. Smithers read the Declaration of In-
dependence, to put us into the proper frame
of mind.”
“You must have been ready for your
lunchesn by that time.”
“We were, but we didn’t enjoy it much,
after all. The driver had placed the lunch
baskets on an ant heap before he drove off.
I couldn't help suspecting that he did it
on purpose.”
“That was unfortunate, but, still"
“Yes, as Mr. Smithers said, we had plenty
of fresh air, pure water, and—"
“But the worst thing about fresh air is
the fact that it makes you hungry, and pure
water is not filling, say what you please.”
“True. Well, after eating what luncheon
the ants had left, we set to work to enjoy
ourselves. Then Mr. Smithers told the boys
that he himself would fire off all the fire-
crackers, as he did wnen he was a boy. le

The boys didn’t look very enthusiastic, but
they knew better than to say much. Then

pleased and benevolent that I hadn't the

“And 1 suppose the fuse failed to work,

“It did, until Mr. Smithers leaned over
to investigate. Then it did its work thor

telling the boys that people were never hurt,
save by their own carelessness, but he didn't
finish the sentence.”
“Mercy, was he much hurt? And—"

“They had rather a hard time, too, what
with being called ‘unhappy orphans’ every

no dinner. ‘They also discovered that all
the matches had gone up in the explosion,

“Qh, weren’t you glad to get home?’
“I certainly was, but it was late when we
did. The driver said the distance was too
great for him to get back at the time Mr.

came Mr. Smithers expected him to praise
